Heartis Cypress is one of two assisted living and memory care communities Caddis Partners is developing in Houston.

Caddis Partners is expanding its recently launched Heartis assisted living and memory care brand with two more communities in the Houston area.

The Dallas-based healthcare real estate firm has broken ground on projects in Cypress and Clear Lake. The properties will feature a streetscape with various storefronts and activities such as a movie theater, ‘50s-style ice cream parlor and art studio.

Each facility will contain 63,000 square feet consisting of 78 units with 54 dedicated to assisted living and 24 for memory care. The communities will offer three interior courtyards, daily activities, meals, housekeeping and laundry services, and transportation services.

“The Main Street concept ties into the overall therapeutic approach we use in Heartis communities,” Katie Csobaji, vice president of senior housing of Caddis Parnters, said in an announcement. “The various storefronts and activities provide residents with Alzheimer’s and dementia a comfortable, familiar environment that encourages fond memories of years past and provides greater opportunities for connections with their families and staff.”

The Cypress location is being built at Longenbaugh Road west of Barker Cypress in Cypress. The Clear Lake facility will be on Old Galveston Road, south of Clear Lake City Boulevard.

Good Neighbor Care will manage the facilities, which are planned to open in the first quarter of 2015. A location in Conroe recently opened with memory care only.

Austin-based Katus is the architect and Mapp Construction of Dallas is the general contractor.

Caddis Partners recently started projects in the Texas cities of Cleburne, Fort Worth and Amarillo and has six additional communities in various stages of development. Caddis Partners is aiming to open a total of 10 to 12 communities during the next 18 months.Playing of the saying “Home is where the heart is,” the Heartis brand is designed to create environments for seniors to live rich, full lives.
